Stuck in the bubble
Maybe my expectations were too high for this book based on the interesting title and the long list of contributors. I found most of the information in this book to be news items. Anyone that follows technology in the news will not find much insight into this book. Also this book dragged on for me. I was reading it for fun, and it was a little slow.

If you are not very familiar with the internet and don't watch the news this book would be worthwhile. However, anyone who uses the internet and keeps up on the news won't get much out of it. All in all I'd say it's a sorry attempt by Brody to be the one to coin the term that defines what great innovations Canadians really are involved with.

Finally I think Brody is stuck in some fantasy of the Internet bubble. CEO of Ipreo - who is Ipreo anyways?
